## Summary

The procurement process involves Minesto UK Ltd., a private company based in Holyhead, UK, seeking to establish a framework agreement for marine operation services in Portaferry, Northern Ireland. The initiative is part of the Deep Green project, aimed at generating electricity from tidal currents. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender was completed on December 28, 2021. Key services required include diving works, vessel maintenance, and buoy servicing, with a contract value of £100,000. The tender attracted multiple bids, indicating strong interest from various suppliers.

This framework agreement presents a significant opportunity for marine service providers, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the marine energy sector. Companies capable of offering diving, maintenance, and logistical support services will find this tender appealing. Businesses that can demonstrate rapid mobilization and competitive pricing will be well-positioned to engage with Minesto, thereby fostering growth in a niche industry focused on sustainable energy solutions.

## Notice

Minesto is developing a technology concept to generate electricity from low velocity ocean currents; the project is called Deep Green (DG) and it is based on a principle to generate electricity from tidal currents. A scale model of the power plant is undergoing long- term ocean trials at the Minesto tidal test site in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland. In order to carry out this testing, Minesto occasionally needs marine support services for diving works, vessel maintenance, mooring/barge maintenance and marker buoy servicing. Thus, Minesto would like to set-up of a framework agreement with one or several suppliers of these services.
